A Call for Papers has been issued for the Annual UT Dallas Project Management Symposium.

This year’s theme is Project Management in a VUCA World. The term VUCA was coined by the U.S. Army War College to describe the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of the world after the Cold War.

VUCA has taken root in the corporate world to express emerging ideas in strategy, leadership and vision.

The relevance of VUCA today relates to how people view the conditions under which they make decisions, manage risks, plan for the future and solve problems.

Abstracts are requested to address topics related to major issues faced by project managers in today’s world. Abstracts on any topic related to project management are welcome. See the UTD PM Symposium website for specifics on this year's theme.

This popular annual symposium will be held at the University of Texas at Dallas, in the Naveen Jindal School of Management, Richardson Texas. The conference is sponsored by the Graduate Program in Project Management at The University of Texas at Dallas, in cooperation with the PMI Dallas Chapter and PM World Journal. The 2-Day Project Management Symposium will focus on topics relevant to organizations, industries and the economy in North Texas.
